SATIN STITCH This is a closely spaced attractive stitch for appliqué, bartacking, etc. Slightly loosen the top thread tension and manually adjust the stitch length between 0.5 and 2.0 for satin stitching. Use a backing of stabilizer or interfacing for sheer materials to avoid puckering. NOTE: When sewing a dense (closely spaced) Satin Stitch, the Satin Stitch Foot MUST be used. PLACEMENT OF PATTERNS The satin stitch increases from the center needle position; making for a center tapered stitch as illustrated.
